Calamity's Christmas Meg Bolton Scott

Calamity Jane is a very small dog who always tries to do what is right. Even so, on Christmas Eve, her own curiosity and some bad advice from Sneakers the cat lead her into trouble. Calamity loves Christmas, and she can hardly wait to open all those presents under the tree. Sneakers tells her that one little present will never be missed, and so she rips and she shreds and she pulls those presents apart-and she finds everything she wants for Christmas. But now the presents are open, and there's a great, big mess! Calamity tries to put the presents back together, but nothing seems to help; the tape sticks to her paws, and there are bits and pieces of Christmas paper everywhere. Whatever will she do? Fortunately, most calamities can be resolved with the help of someone who loves you, especially a grandmother. This children's story tells the tale of a little dog who gets into big trouble on Christmas Eve after following her cat friend's bad advice.
